Overheard at a shul kiddush

Person – I’m a deist, we don’t believe in the Christian concept of love.
Me- What do you mean you are a deist? [I was not sure he knew what the word meant.]
Person- We have a realistic view of God – one that get angry, takes revenge and is not nice. God needs to be appeased.
Me- Do you appease God?
Person- Yes, I do my duties and obligations every day.
Me- When you fail do you get punished?
Person- I do my duties.

  1. A logical enough response to a deity who requires worship and ritual but, unlike the evangelical god, never talks back.

  2. The number of closet molech worshipers is clearly increasing.

  3. Avraham Bronstein's avatar Avraham Bronstein

    Was this a shul kiddush in the last two weeks?
